1982 -My First programmable computer (not including the Stanford University Mainframe I got to play with in High School) You hooked it to your tv and the dataset took for ever to load and save and often failed, but for me it was gold!

and my brother-in-law had a Commodore 64. I think
he also had an old BBC Acorn - BEEEEG FLOPPIES
DEEESKS. (*Ground breaking tech eh!* )_________________

should be arriving on Saturday 24th June.

It's the final incarnation of DVD-RAM, a 5x maximum disc. DVD-RAM is a weird optical disc format that was designed to work sort of like a traditional RAM disc like a floppy or hard drive. For packet writing, which DVD-RW can do but it tends to be very unreliable.

Just try finding another pack of something like this. I found a guy offering two single discs, perhaps from the pack I didn't buy

I need all the comfort I can get.

I can't believe you found one of the original full-boxed copies, kudos! At least it's now with someone who we know will look after it as per its great value
